    Poll: How many forums do you regularly visit?

    On a daily basis maybe Giant Bomb, although I don't post a lot. I come here for Zero Punctuation generally although there may be things like this thread or edited content that interests me, but my forum posts are infrequent.

    Yooka-Laylee reviews are coming out and thoughts are ...mixed

    I guess I'll find out Tuesday onward. If control was working fine in the Toybox, then surely they wouldn't ditch that and all I can imagine is that somehow level scale or design is hurting things.

    Yooka-Laylee reviews are coming out and thoughts are ...mixed

    First off, I'll say that I backed the game at ?20 (on PC) so I haven't played it apart from the Toybox demo yet. That demo was limited but gave me an idea of how things like the jumps and physics generally would work, which seemed spot on. I'm not sure where the camera criticisms are coming...

    Where were you when 9/11 happened?

    I was 31 and working in the UK, it was close to 2pm and I was about to finish lunch. We had a shared internet terminal with full access to download installers for drivers, etc as required but it could also play video from the BBC's website, which the usual network that most people used couldn't...

    They Are Making a Fruit Ninja Movie

    Well I've been in touch with all of the major studios and I'm sure my "Best of YouTube 2006" is gonna be a winner. They all said "Yeah? No." so crunching the numbers I reckon that's a maybe.

    Things you have lost taste for.

    Have you tried putting them in a blender (cut them into slices first) and add some berries that you like before mixing again?

    Things you have lost taste for.

    A huge amount of the metal side of rock (you could pick them out easily, they all had skulls or tombstones on the cover) has fallen by the wayside. I still choose to listen to Faith No More and Mike Patton's side projects (probably the best lyricist/vocalist I've heard). Other band's songs can...

    origin on the house program.. latest free give away

    Thanks, I'm voting yes with the download button, it's had at least one good review that I trust. I wasn't aware Origin had an "On The House" program until you mentioned it because I haven't logged in to Origin in quite a while (it's on my task bar now). It's odd that it occurred to me earlier...

    Sony: Mobile Market "Climate" to Blame For Vita Failure

    I haven't owned a Vita, but a bit of looking things up tells me that the battery was proprietary and not replaceable in the classic or the slim version? Others have pointed out the memory shortcomings, marketing etc, but to my mind the battery is something else that would have dissuaded me from...

    It's impossible to be sexy when...

    ... eating an orange. Impossible to get into with bare fingers and they leak everywhere. Satsumas on the other hand, are sexy fruit - perfect for sharing. *thanks Eddie Izzard for inspiration*

    Why is cheating bad?

    I don't think I'm clever at all. I was in set 2 for Maths in school which meant I would take my official exam in the 5th year, but in the 4th year I was bumped up to set 1, which meant that I took it a year early. So I missed quite a lot of teaching in the process, but still got a B, which was a...

    UK Atheists Hope to Eliminate Jedi Population

    I might respond with a) "Zoltan" or b) "I believe the previous government outsourced me to an IT company that they knew was shit, so you'll get nothing from me"

    Activision Pulls the Plug on Guitar Hero Franchise

    How about just buying a guitar? I don't understand any of these games, why not learn something instead. The exception to this that I'll make is DJ Hero because you could ruin a decent set of turntables and vinyl to find out that you're still crap at doing it.

    BBC Aims High With New Games Business

    I think an answer could be found in your username, the BBC are facing cuts as are other organisations in the UK and need to make some money from what IPs they have. I'm interested in what could happen as long as it's not a game based on FlashPlayer and helps to make content available for players...
